What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[Gren71]

The rubi shocks and the overland shocks are the exact same length. There are ton of videos out there proving that.

news to me. Good to know though

Yea, shocks are equal length, obviously coils are not.

Gotcha. Shock length was not something I researched having a JTMT. I just knew I either needed the extensions, or longer shocks when I lifted. So Rubi or the 2.0s. Interesting that the overlands are the same length as the rubis...makes me wonder if theyre all the same length ( with the exception of the 2.0s that come with the MPP 2in kit )

Right, exactly. My guess would be all trims have the same length shocks, since the 1“ difference in coil height won’t really affect the shocks. Anything above 2” would require a shock length upgrade IMO. I opted for the shock extension brackets with my leveling kit and rubi suspension, as it is the most budget friendly option for a lift to get bigger tires. Eventually, I’ll get the MPP 2in kit.

Finished the led strips on the 270 degree awning. Each led strip has it's own switch on a switch box and its mounted behind the awning. I know it's probably an overkill for having a switch for each strip but every amp not used helps conserve power.

Took a break from spring research to install the front bumper. Ran out of time to put the step bars that also showed up on.

Rough country bumper using factory fog lights. Instructions were abysmal. Basically 5 steps which were possibly applicable to a 2007 wrangler? Looks good though and is solid. Just took a lot of life experience to figure it out and make it all happen. Most of the issues involve removal of factory fog lights and installation in new bumper.

Would like to dress it up under it a little and will research. Factory overland has a big plastic trim piece which covers the aluminum slider.

The instructions:

-there was no need to sand or mess with factory fogs or remove any tabs. It actually included a small bracket that had no reference to existence. It worked out.

-it mentions using nut and bolt sizes to secure
The bumper which don’t exist.

Picked up my GFC SuperLite and spent 7 nights camping in it near Glacier NP. The Yakima rack system worked super well. Love the lightweight and modular setup.

What bike rack do you have? Looking for something to carry 2 ebikes.

Installed my Bartact visor covers today - thanks to @DeezJT for the info, and Bartact for the Vets Discount ??.

Nice, and thank you for your service.

Installed an oilpan/trans skid

NIce skids. Where did you get those? I looked at their site and seems made in Israel. I don't want to pay that shipping. Any US suppliers?

Installed Bak revolver X4s today. Quite happy with the finished product. Appears to be solid and wasn’t hard to install. Also converted to stubby bumper.

In the process of installing the Gladiator tailgate decal. Should be done by tomorrow.

What will i be doing this weekend??

Did you use Mopar Part Number: 06511076AA nut/rivets for the lower skid plate bracket ? I did use this part with the Warn mounting plate on my installation and am not sure that I installed the nut/rivets properly.

what are you not sure about?
